You been spammed. Use your "Report abuse" button to report spam.

There is no "one button" to install them all, but they can certainly all be installed. To install Gnome Classic; open a terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

If you want to do the different environments the best way to do it is the following

for LXDE

sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

KDE

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

XFCE

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Gnome shell and classic

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

Gnome classic

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback


You should use the -desktop option BECAUSE it will give you cleaner menus. For instance if you log into kubuntu you will only see the items meant for kubuntu on the menu.

The only thing you will want to do is choose what splash screen you want when your system is loading or shutting off. Open software center and search for plymouth-theme . uninstall the ones you dont want. I like to keep the default plymouth-theme-ubuntu

When prompted always keep your window manager at lightdm

Good luck!

Pinguy looks like Linux Mint running XFCE with docky and a custom theme. You can grab the theme from the disc. Just run the live cd of pinguy and nab the theme from /usr/share/themes and icons from /usr/share/icons

put them into your ubuntu install and voila.
